The food was just too too salty. But maybe that’s their style. We order garlic noodles as one of the dishes and were barely able to eat it as was too salty. Everything else including the ambience and the service was top notch.

The A/C was broken so a little warm inside. Server wasn't really clear about the portion sizes and put in an order for the corn when we were just asking about it but that could have been our partially our fault or a communication glitched.

Our waitress was very nice, but they forgot one of our food orders, and by the time my plate arrived, my husband’s food was cold. Also, one of the appetizers (the corn) was basically mush - tasted like soup because it was full of water from cooking. For as much as our meal cost, I hoped for a table that doesn’t wobble and better quality food.

We were making a long cross country drive from Louisiana to New York and planned to make special stop in Nashville to have dinner at Sunda. We were provided exceptional service by Cynthia and the food was amazing! The Nashville location is reminiscent of the original Chicago Sunda, but has a more open brighter atmosphere and love the trendy Gulch location. We enjoyed each dish ordered and the Sunda Sundae was perfect dessert to end our meal before getting back on the road.

We were locals looking froward to SUNDA, but we were sadly underwhelmed with our experience. Service was great and management was as well! Our let down was in the food & beverage aspect. We had to send a drink back and also one of our plates was overly salty while others needed more seasoning. I would still send people here, the space was amazing and majority of our food was good.
